Article Text

Human understanding begins from a shaped state and leads to the extraction of concepts. Shaped understanding helps create a mental space of forms, but concentration, by transcending the shaped space, directs humans toward the realm of concepts and the understanding of meaning.

Now we say that every possible existence, as a link between shapeless space and shaped space from the perspective of an observer, is in the state of parable. Parable is a process in which a person, by considering a possible existence, enters the realm of concepts and understanding by transcending their shaped mind. Therefore, the sign of the emergence of narration is the elimination of shaped space and a close connection with concepts.

Narration is a process in which a person, when confronted with a possible existence, becomes stuck in their shaped mind. Thus, the sign of the emergence of Narration will be shaped understanding based on artificial conventions. Artifact (counterfeit) means convention and assumption.

Now we are faced with two individuals: one with experience in the realm of concepts and understanding of meaning, and the other with shaped and conventional experience. The world of forms is continuously accompanied by the transformation of perspectives and presents humans with events. A person who possesses a mind of meaning perception can provide an appropriate analysis of the situation encountered due to their ability to transcend the shaped appearances. However, a person with a shaped mind, due to the mismatch between existing conditions and their conventional assumptions, will experience confusion and bewilderment.

Novelty is a process in which a person, using acquired concepts and understanding, and transcending the conventional shaped space, analyzes the new conditions of their environment.
